Just came here for dinner. Was anxious to try this HK style cafe. The decor is very cute with the blue themed tiles; mirrors; old-school TV; ceiling fans; stained glass lights; old-school green window shades; and other HK style knick knacks everywhere. Seating is best/most spacious in the booths. Food: In terms of value, its best to order the combos which are like $33 or $38 for lunch/dinner. This compares to a milk tea which a la carte would cost $18 and a noodle a la carte for around $38 o
Food: In terms of value, its best to order the combos which are like $33 or $38 for lunch/dinner. This compares to a milk tea which a la carte would cost $18 and a noodle a la carte for around $38 or so. There's also a variety of breakfast combos as well.
Special combo (Chicken pie immersed in green pea soup; Banana walnut pancakes in caramel sauce; Choice of tea/coffee for $38)
Chicken pie...: the crust on this was superb, similar to the crust on their egg tarts. Inside was a small helping of chicken/ham. the pea soup was also good too and paired well with the bites of chicken pie. this was surprisingly good.
Pancakes: Delicious and everything worked well w/ each other! Took longer for this order to arrive since it is made fresh. The pancakes came with 2 thick ones stacked on top of each other. Diced bananas and walnuts on top with a caramel sauce drizzled everywhere. I preferred the thickness of the pancakes, made the entire thing taste like a dessert.
Milk tea: the standard HK style. need to add sugar cubes your own from their own sugar cube tin on each table.
Fried chicken drumstick with fruit salad: This was okay. I liked the crispiness of the skin and the seasoning on it. The chicken meat was also tasty, although some parts were drier than others.
Pork liver ramen: I loved the broth in this - not the soup base from the ramen pack, but a in-house made liver broth that was oozing with the pork liver flavor. Funny thing, I loved the broth and ramen, but I personally am not a fan of liver, so I ate everything but the liver, which I felt bad about. There were also pieces of diced ginger and green peas in the soup. Ramen came with the packaged soup base and sesame oil on the side in case you want to further flavor/customize the taste, but in my opinion the broth can hold its own.
Egg sandwich: Yum, generous portions of scrambled egg, slightly oozy. Good deal for $18.
Service: Much better service than the standard HK cafe with a good number of waiters around. Cute outfits with white shirts and checkered blue themed pants which matched with the overall decor. English menus available, but does not include all the good combos, recommendations, or specialties. Accepts credit card.
Sizing it up: Very refreshing to find a themed HK style cafe with good food at a fair price (I came with a very hungry friend so meal ended up to be $140 total). I find it more homey and at a better pace than the usual Tsui Wah which is overwhelming and too bustling at times. Also the menu offerings has all the good craved HK basics but also has enough unique offerings that make it stand out from the crowd. Was a pleasant visit, will come again.
